As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

So in order to keep these cafés (which have a social role in addition to an economic one) I'd say excempt them for the smoking ban law, even if that is unbeneficial for the public health.

@Darkness: Bos was a liar during the last electoral campaign, but he and his party were punished for that. Now as a minister of finance I think he's doing a fine job. This job clearly fits him better.

In any case, I'm still don't consider PvdA (labour party) a serious candidate for my vote; it was only to show what CDA could have, or rather should have done better. The reason I posted this was to see whether others like you would understand my doubts. I'm especially interested in your opinion, since you voted CDA as well IIRC. (And secretly show that I won't always vote CDA by default. Which would be wrong IMO.)
